Reviewing the carnage. Never sold any of my GP. I am going down with the ship. I found the coin a few weeks ago, loved it, bought it. Last night I was offline and was getting a ton of pings suggesting that I sell eco coins and plow into GP to make a statement to concentrate liquidity. That was a mistake in hindsight I should have just done nothing. But I didn’t exit, all the money was used to buy GP. I’m not a founder. I didn’t create the thing. I just bought it and love RuneScape and talked about it. But I guess I’ve learned a lesson as to why I avoided meme coins my whole time on this platform. You get involved and when it goes south people just say whatever they want. Sorry to those that have strong feelings right now. But nothing about this was coordinated or rugged. I took a bath on eco coins, bought a lot to support and sold at a massive loss. And haven’t sold a single GP. I won’t. Down with this ship I guess

Fractional reserve banking gives the government immense financial power. "If ever there's a day of stress, you need a lender of last resort, and the government can always say no." "They can shut a bank with no notice, any day and there's no recourse."

On March 12, 2023, New York regulators seized Signature Bank, just days after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Silvergate’s decision to liquidate. Regulators claimed that Signature faced a crisis of confidence and dangerous deposit outflows. Unfortunately, they were not being truthful. As @nic_carter has written extensively about — the government was actually just using the banking system to cut the crypto industry off from the dollar. This is what became known as “Operation Choke Point 2.0.” The years since have added important context. FDIC documents released in 2025 showed banks seeking to engage with crypto were repeatedly met with delays, demands for more information, and requests to pause activity. In 2023 Signature was one of the most important banks serving the industry, making what happened that weekend a pivotal moment in the story. Last month I sat down with Signature Bank’s founder to hear, in his own words, what happened inside the bank as regulators moved in — and why he believes Signature never needed to be seized. This is one of the most important and interesting interviews I’ve done to date. I hope you all enjoy.

Scott Shay built Signature Bank to $110 billion in assets without a single acquisition. Then the government took it. He tells @AviFelman the part nobody reported: Signature was mark-to-market positive two weeks before. After the run they still had $16 billion in cash. They raised $20 billion over the weekend. It was seized anyway.

When BlackRock writes about a new idea, you should be paying attention, and this is what they're converging on. Agents on blockchains. BoA is not going to bank your agent but crypto rails will. "AI will save crypto." -@jvb_xyz

Y’all know me as the @DCA_Markets dev but I’ve been building out the @GPonchain platforms for the future of gold. CHECK OUT and and the Grand Exchange just got a few new fun features DCA GP DAILY 🤝

My DM's are flooded with request to pump memecoins, so I feel the need to make a statement. I have been in this industry for 9 years and never once have I pumped a memecoin. The last 8 days have been a bit of fever dream for me as I decided solana:HTmQz7My6MehV7bjhJ6jde8nDND1yvsz68d24LP7YgUQ was something worth fighting for. It reignited a sense of wonder and fun that I haven't had since I logged onto RuneScape for the first time and saw a world in front of me I couldn't have concieved up. When someone in 3rd grade first mentioned they were fishing in RuneScape I assumed they were talking about a board game. I had never played a 3d video game before so to me, when I went home that night started playing I was completely blown away This community is a ride or die for me. I am so excited about everything that has been done so far (like launching a minigame @TryDuelArena). I will never talk about, promote or otherwise invest in a memecoin. I do not believe in leading lambs to the slaughterhouses. I am lucky enough in my career that I don't need to play these games. But for RuneScape, the rules are out the window. I will see you in Varrock.

Something incredible happened last night: solana:HTmQz7My6MehV7bjhJ6jde8nDND1yvsz68d24LP7YgUQ hit $20m and the ecosystem coins as a whole passed $30m in total market cap. There are now 15,000 holders of GP. We are in the early innings of a movement. What started as an experiment in nostalgia has blossomed into one of the best gaming related ecosystems ever developed, and all of those involved are getting paid out in real, hard Gold through the 3% transfer tax. Last cycle we had a fake game (Loot) trade over $280m mcap. This time we have a chance to channel our love for RuneScape into something real. We are beginning to cross over into the mainstream -- there are millions of RS players who still haven't heard of Gold. I have not had this much fun in crypto since '21, and it's just getting started.

Are you ready? Let’s roll. Shabbat Shalom. Will be offline this weekend preparing for Yom Kippur. To all those I have wronged this year: I apologize. I hope that everyone has a meaningful fast and a great year up ahead.
